Foreword The second casualfood sustainability report has landed, and with it we have already made good progress on our sustainable journey. We are constantly working on new, climate-sensitive concepts. These take the topic into account from the ground up: from the content, construction and interior design to the product range. Our sustainability team has also grown, enabling us to achieve our goals even better and faster. The casualfood sustainability strategy is based on three strong pillars: PEOPLE, PLANET, PRODUCTS. The first pillar, PEOPLE, focuses on our employees. We want to continue to secure attractive jobs for them and create new ones in the future. We take human rights, diversity and equal opportunities as well as occupational health and safety very seriously. The second pillar, PLANET, is about our contribution to climate protection. Here, it is primarily the reduction of food waste and the increase in sustainable packaging that we want to constantly optimize. The third pillar, PRODUCTS, deals critically and consciously with our contribution to the topics of nutrition, sustainable products and supply chains as well as responsible marketing. Our own sustainability brand POP - Protect Our Planet, which is already deeply rooted in our DNA, proves that we not only talk about sustainability, but also live it passionately. It runs like a green thread through the entire appearance of our brand concepts. In the casualfood Sustainability Report 2022, our ambassador, the hard-working casual bee, also provides entertaining information about our smaller and larger successes and gives insights into her life as a bee. The casualfood journey continues sustainably, please get in and start reading... 4 Dear readers,
